Question

Compare the following fraction by LCM method 14/25 and 9/15

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{14}{25}$ < $\frac{9}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare two fractions we need the LCM of the denominators

∴ LCM of 25,15 = 5 x 5 x 3 = 75

∴$\frac{14}{25} X \frac{3}{3} = \frac{42}{75}$

And $\frac{9}{15} X \frac{5}{5} = \frac{45}{75}$

∴ $\frac{42}{75} < \frac{45}{75}$

∴ $\frac{9}{15}$ is greater
